Round 1
Quinones opens up looking for a home for his jab, but can’t quite
connect. Girtz rushes in with a flurry but fails to land anything
significant. The Minnesotan wildly swings and connects with a
right, but is answered with a body kick from Quinones. The Northway
MMA featherweight lands with a big shot but his opponent seems
unfazed. Girtz scores a double-leg takedown and lands in side
control, working for a kimura. The Colombian manages to regain half
guard, but find himself mounted, eating punches until the bell.

Round 2
Quinones begins tentatively, while Girtz looks to land wide
punches. Both men exchange punches and circle away. Neither man
attacks for some time, but the Minnesotan lands a stiff right after
what seems like hours of pawing. The Wolfpack product lands an
occasional leg kick, but doesn’t seem too committed. Tons of
feinting and standing around in a very dry second round.Quinones
misses a spinning back fist but immediately fires a high kick which
connects, wobbling his opponent at the final bell.

The Northway MMA product comes in aggressively, looking for a
takedown, which he inevitably gets, bulling his foe to the mat.
Girtz slices through Quinones’ flimsy half guard and ends up in
full mount early in the final frame. The Colombian is eating
punches and elbows, but still defending himself. He continues to
try to sneak out the backdoor, but Girtz continues to sit on his
chest and thump him with short elbows and punches around his guard.
The Minnesota native slows his attack, but is still very much in
control of the mount. Girtz continues to pound away in workmanlike
fashion from full mount until the final bell rescues Quinones.

Round 1
Vepedo advances quickly, landing punches and throwing a head kick.
Bernhard tries to respond with a kick of his own, but slips and
lands on the canvas. The energetic Vedepo dives on him, but goes
headfirst into a triangle choke. Bernhard locks it up in a hurry
and turns his hips to the side, straining to finish the choke.

Vedepo's sub win was wacky and weird.

Vedepo turns and puts his knee on Bernhard's chest
and neck, trying to pry himself free. Vedepo is caught up against
the fence, trying to escape, but continues to hang on and respond
to referee Troy Waugh. Vedepo yanks his head up, and gets a little
bit of clearance and breathing room finally. Vedepo puts his left
knee and shin across the throat of Bernhard, while still in the
triangle, and puts all of his weight down on his foe's neck.
Incredibly, Bernhard taps out to Vedepo's ad hoc shin choke, as
"The Doctor" was essentially kneeriding his throat. The wacky
submission end comes at 3:26 of the first round.

Otani advances on Souza, feinting with his jab, while Souza tries
to throw some capoeira-style kicks to ward him off. Overhand
haymakers follow from Souza, but Otani responds with kicks.
Unfortunately, one goes low and Souza gets a brief respite. Upon
the restart, Otani starts with kicks again, but eats a massive
windmill punch from Souza and falls to the mat. Souza tries to
follow up, but his wild swinging can't find the target and Otani
gets his feet back. Otani begins chopping at Souza's legs with low
kicks and Souza attempts a half-moon kick in response, the dramatic
technique whizzing wide.

A hard left-right combo lands for Souza and follows up with more
caveman-style punches, smashing the former USC linebacker clean to
the face. Otani is out cold and referee James Warring intervenes at
2:46 of the first round. The jubilant Brazilian celebrates with a
series of backflips, handsprings and a full split.

Round 1
Slack opens up aggressively while his opponent circles away.
Moiseichik looks to keep the distance, while “The Heartbreak Kid”
gets in close and scores a thunderous slam off of a double leg
takedown. The ATT fighter has his butterfly hooks in, but is
pounded for a bit before his opponent passes to half guard. Sky
gives up his back and helps himself stand along the cage, but trips
while trying to escape the clutches of the Reign MMA featherweight;
Slack lands a punch in the process. The Richmond, Va., native sits
in his guard until the bell.

Round 2
“The Heartbreak Kid” immediately shoots for a takedown and gets it.
The Florida native is working to regain full guard, but the
pressure of Slack is too much. The Reign MMA product is landing
short elbows, but Sky is doing a good job defending with wrist
control. Moiseichik pushes his opponent off for a brief second, but
finds himself in side control. He regains guard. “El Chivo Loco”
finds himself with his back against the cage, but it doesn’t last
long as he attempts to scramble and is pulled away. Slack's punches
and elbows are now blooding Moiseichuk, whose plasma is streaming
down his face. Slack keeps up the beating until the horn.

Slack now looks content to strike in the opening of final stanza. A
desperate Moiseichik is throwing, but can’t land anything of
significance. They exchange and Slack once again powers the fight
to the ground. The ATT product shrimps toward the cage and manages
to get to his feet after some time, avoiding any damage. After a
few seconds at distance, “The Heartbreak Kid” once again closes in,
Moiseichik defends, but the holes in his takedown defense rear
their head again, and he’s on his back when Slack changes levels
and sucks him down with a double-leg. Slack lands some idle shots
on top, just staying busy. Moiseichik cage walks up and attempts
his own shot, but is easily stuffed before the final bell.

Round 1
They exchange early on the feet, with Quayhagen showing no fear of
Alexandre's strikes, just as was the cast in the first fight.
Alexandre starts to land some leg kicks, but Quayhagen fires
punches in return, just grazing. Quayhagen shoots, but suddenly
finds himself in a deep guillotine. He postures up to escape, but
Alexandre has it tight. The Brazilian continues to wrench the
choke, while Quayhagen takes his time, adjusting his posture to
escape. Alexandre finally sags his hips, straining on the choke,
and Quayhagen gets free. Shockingly, the striker then looks for a
triangle. He can't get it, but manages to pull off a half guard
sweep that puts the fight back on the feet before the bell.
Impressive grappling in the opening round from Cosmo Alexandre.

Round 2
Alexandre walks down Quayhagen now, attacking with heavier punches.
Quayhagen just blocks a head kick from the Brazilian, and then
lands a side kick of his own. Alexandre jabs and then fires a wild
right hook that nearly lets Quayhagen spin him to the mat. A sharp
one-two clips Quayhagen and stands him up, prompting him to shoot a
double-leg and put Alexandre on the mat. The Blackzilian product
doesn't waste his time, however, quickly shrimping and getting up
the cage wall to his feet. Hard knee lands for Alexandre on the
break. Left hook-left kick to the body for Alexandre, who follows
with knees and a left hook. "The Good Boy" is finding his rhythm
standing. Quayhagen shoots an ugly double, and Alexandre throws him
to the mat. Alexandre plays with kicks from Ali-Inoki position

Alexandre avenged his debut loss with
big improvements in his MMA game.

Quayhagen is still backing up, but offering more with his jabs and
low kicks. Alexandre is whiffing on his left hook and not throwing
many other strikes as he closes the distance. Body kick and a jab
and for Quayhagen on Alexandre, who finally retaliates with a
lunging one-two that partially lands. A right followed by a hard
left hook stun Quayhagen and the Brazilian explodes with a flying
knee. Quayhagen tries to grab on to his opponent, but Alexandre
turns around and blasts him with another knee that makes Quayhagen
flop to his guard on the ground. Alexandre sets up in Ali-Inoki
again, kicking his foe's legs and pressuring him.

Quayhagen manages to hop back to his feet, but it's all academic
from here. Alexandre dances around as Quayhagen throws wild kicks
until the horn.

Round 1
The two welterweights touch gloves, and just as soon as the actual
fight gets going, DeRocher throws an overhand right that smacks
Krahl behind the ear and stiffens him. Krahl goes down in a heap,
but is able to recover, kicking his legs at DeRocher. DeRocher
follows up on top, shucking Krahl's legs by and landing a half
dozen more hard rights that seal the deal. Referee Troy Waugh dives
in to rescue the helpless Krahl. The total time is just 20 seconds
for DeRocher to wipe out Krahl.

stand. Punches are exchanged with “Fudoshin” as an aggressor,
putting his opponent on his heels with long crosses. Cobb connects

on his back courtesy of Cooper's double-leg. Cobb manages to stand,
but Cooper chases him down with strikes and lands another
double-leg against the cage. “Fudoshin” rains down heavy shots. He
lands another big salvo of punches on top and passes to side

punch but unable to land. Cooper jumps in with a left hook. Both
men land simultaneous overhand shots and back up. The Californian
gets another takedown and proceeds to hammer away at his opponent,
who controls his head to survive. Cooper looks content to sit in
his guard and chip away, as Cobb is just hanging on and playing
defense, yet is still getting hit with most of what Cooper throws.
The longtime Bellator vet keeps up the pounding until the middle
stanza ends.

Both men are gauging distance with their jabs. A desperate Cobb
attempts a high roundhouse kick and misses. Cooper shoots in and
puts him on his saddle. “Fudoshin” continues to chip away from the
open guard, looking for power shots, but his opponent is defending
well. Cobb’s head is against the cage, but can’t shrimp his hips
enough to put his back to it and escape. He scrambles, but Cooper
grabs a front headlock. Darryl manages to stand, the Kings MMA
product releases, and both men swing heavy leather. Cooper tires of
swinging free and then secures yet another takedown at the final
bell.

Round 1
Martinez takes the center of the cage at the start of this
featherweight tournament bout, feints a punch and throws a leg
kick. The WEC veteran fires his own and misses. The Brazilian casts
a lazy jab, changes levels and powers his way through a double leg.
His opponent scrambles and finds himself in a front headlock
position and escapes. The wrestler closes the distance and pushes
the nova Uniao fighter against the cage, the two separate after Rad
opens up with his hands. The fight goes against the cage for a
moment, but both men separate and circle. Martinez seems to be the
more competent striker, but Fabiano is landing shots as wellat the
final bell.

Round 2
Fabiano still seems comfortable striking, but Martinez is the more
polished product, tagging him with southpaw hooks and chopping with
outside leg kicks. The Brazilian is pursuing his foe, running him
into the cage for a clinch. He can't get the takedown, but lands a
hard knee on the exit that surprises Martinez. Fabiano continues
with his forward pursuit and lands a one-two, but eats a left
counter. Martinez turns and flurries, but Fabiano shells up and

is easily stuffed by Martinez. Fabiano lands a right, but Martinez
lands a four-punch combo up and down his body in retaliation before
bulling him into the cage. Fabiano finally wriggles free from
Martinez's pressure, landing an overhand right on the exit. The
Nova Uniao fighter keeps pressing forward, only to eat more shots
from Martinez. More kicks from Martinez, who push kicks and low
kicks to keep the busy-punching Fabiano at bay.

With a minute to go, Fabiano keeps pressing, but just can't find
his way past Martinez's superior boxing. With 10 seconds to go,
Martinez tags Fabiano and follows up with a flurry of rights and
lefts along the cage to seal the deal.

have it 29-28, while Eliseo Rodriguez sees it 30-27 for the winner
by unanimous decision and advancing to the finals of the Bellator
Season 7 featherweight tournament, Rad Martinez.

Round 1
Predictably, the pair of 6-foot-7 heavyweights exchange long
punches off the bat, with Queiroz sneaking in a solid one-two on
the Russian. Volkov responds with a one-two-head kick that is
blocked. The Brazilian changes levels and shoots a double that
easily puts Volkov on the mat. Volkov overhooks both arms in hopes
of a standup, and he gets it, as referee James Warring warns
"Spartan" about using his head on Volkov's face and stands the pair
up. Volkov is now more aggressive, attacking with punches and
kicks, but Queiroz changes levels, tripping the outside leg and
planting Volkov back on the mat. Queiroz chips away in full guard
as Volkov tries to pin his arms down. Queiroz maintains his
position and punches away until the horn.

After much feinting, two hard jabs land for Volkov. Volkov slips a
lazy "Spartan" jabs and lands his right. It looks like Queiroz
might be tiring, as a lazy double-leg attempt is easily thwarted by
Volkov. After many of his jabs are blocked, Volkov throws a pair of
hooks that snap Queiroz's head back. Another left hook-right hook
for Volkov stuns Queiroz, who stumbles back in slow motion. The
Russian follows with two more hooks that put Queiroz on the mat,
but Volkov is more than happy to let him stand back up. Upon
regaining his feet, Queiroz dives for an ankle, dragging Volkov to
mat.

However, Volkov is quickly rescued by referee James Warring's quick
standup, and quickly resumes pelting his opponent with long hooks.
A body kick and a one-two for Volkov smash Queiroz. He falls back
to the fence where Volkov rams a volley of short rights square into
his face. Queiroz goes down in a heap just before the horn and
referee James Warring hops in to save him. Alexander Volkov's
knockout comes at 4:59 of the second round, and he advances to the
Bellator Season 7 heavyweight tournament final.

Round 1
Warren immediately closes the distance but fails to secure a
takedown. The former bantamweight champion comes in with a straight
and an uppercut, securing a bodly lock and pulling the fight to the
ground. Evinger holds Warren in his guard, but manages to wall walk
his way back to the feet. The Greco-Roman wrestler bullrushes his
way back to the clinch and secures a takedown, finding himself in
side control before quickly moving to mount. Evinger then scrambles
and took Warren’s back as they stand. Warren survives and once
again, drove his opponent down. After spending some time in half
guard, Evinger regained full guard. The period ends with Warren
throwing punches on top.

Round 2
Like clockwork, the former champion drives Evinger into the cage
and slams him to the mat. Warren works for an arm-triangle choke on
top in half guard, but as he attempts to pass to the side to finish
the choke, Evinger rolls, forcing Warren onto his back, still
holding onto the choke. Evinger escapes, but Warren, still on top,
punches away and takes back mount for a moment. “The Baddest Man on
The Planet” spends the rest of the round grinding his opponent,
striking incrementally until the bell sounds.

Round 3

himself with his back against the cage. The powerhouse wrestler
pushes his way out and once again secures another bodylock
takedown. Warren is sitting in half guard; attempting to lace his
hands through for an arm triangle, but quickly gives up and begins

control, much to the dismay of the audience. As the former champion
moves to mount, Evinger is able to regain half guard. The
Denver-based fighter then knees the body and and flurries with
short punches until the horn.
